Providing intensive early intervention is critical to maximizing outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and evidence suggests that the earlier intervention can begin, the better the outcome. The first purpose of this article is to review the earliest indicators of ASD in very young children-social and communication impairments-which have important implications for early identification. The second purpose is to review evidence-based intervention practices for children with ASD and to develop a set of guiding principles for providing intervention for infants and toddlers who are at risk for ASD. Issues that are delineated include providing intervention in natural environments, supporting families in early intervention, and embedding intervention in daily routines.
提供强化早期干预对于使自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的治疗效果最大化至关重要，而且有证据表明，干预开始得越早，效果越好。本文的首要目的是回顾幼儿ASD的最早指标——社交和沟通障碍，这对早期识别具有重要意义。第二个目的是回顾针对ASD儿童的循证干预措施，并制定一套指导原则，为有ASD风险的婴幼儿提供干预。阐述的问题包括在自然环境中提供干预、在早期干预中支持家庭以及将干预融入日常生活。
